Night Child: Jes Battis

OSI, Book 1: My boss dragged me out of bed at two in the morning to see a dead vampire? I might be an Occult Special Investigator for Vancouver's Mystical Crime Lab, but a dead vamp is routine and no reason to disturb a person's sleep. Then I took a closer look... Tess Corday soon realises there is not going to be anything ordinary about this case: not the lab results on the cause of death; not Mia Polanski, the teenage girl living at the address found in the dead vamp's pocket, who may well be in thrall to a demon; and certainly not Lucian Agrado, the necromancer liaison to the vampire community. He's supposed to be part of the solution but Tess suspects he might be part of the problem. Under pressure from her boss, Tess is trying to go by the book on this one. But Mia needs help and Tess risks her career - and finds herself in the midst of a paranormal conspiracy that will change her life forever - or end it....
